Cilan and the Case of the Purrloin Witness! (786)

Cilan the Connoisseur Detective! A Locked Room Mystery on the Open Sea!!

Traveling to the next island in the Decolora Islands, Ash & Co. participate in a small tournament on the ship. After the tournament, a gem collector intends to show off her special gem collection, and her Purrloin seems jealous of one of the jewels. Another gem collector is onboard and continually asks the collector to sell him her special Liepard's Eye gem, but she refuses. However, the gem soon goes missing and accusations fly everywhere. Cilan decides it is down to him to find out who stole the gem...

Did I hear wrong or did Pikachu beat a Torterra, I thing I heard Dodaitose but my stream crashed.

Axew loss is acceptable besides the fact that he hasn't really fougth since the first Don Tournament but it had to lose due to plot and they made the guy strong, a professional thief in the pokemon world should have strong pokemon I guess, plus type advtange.

Wow the guy without the mustache really does look even more like an older Antonio now.

International police agent(like Handsome I believe) was the owner of the Growlithe.

Er...No. There was no Dodaitose. You must have heard something else.

Keyhole guys purposefully ruined the audio. I couldn't understand much but it seems Cilan says some silly reason in the end for his fear of Choroneko.

Alao, a trivia: Our heroes are not travelling in the same ship. They missed their last one. Parker is just like Nurse Joy and Don George..they all look alike.

Ugh why they take so uch time for e the tourney
AWWWWWWWWw HE
CAUGHT I T AAND LOLOLOLOLOLOLLOLOL HIS SCREAM
AAAAAAH AWESOME MUSIC this episode is so talky xD
LOL THAT DUDE WAS THE HOUSE DETECTIVE AntoniO?

MMMMHm Dento’s voice <3

Meh not much happened in this epi that I wanted. ;-; Choroneko barely did anything. BUT AT LEAST HE CAUGHT HIM SO NOW I CAN CRY TEARS OF BLOOD.

Then again it'd probably be better if I knew what they were saying. Imo they wasted too much time with the tourney.

EDIT: Wait Dento said why he was afraid? xD I missed that part because Keyhole stopped. :P

Actually this episode isn't a rehash really! So it's got some originality points! I WANT TO SEE IT AGAIN. >.<;;;;

You're coming across like people are going to complain that Axew lost. If anything this is a GOOD thing for it (given it hardly ever used), but only if they go somewhere with it. If it's just treated like an afterthought...well, that would suck.

Cilan catching the cat would have been interesting, but meh...this was a rather ho-hum episode. Not explaining why he's afraid of Purrloin, might just be a call-back to the Brock/Prof. Ivy thing. I doubt we'll ever know at this point, given I don't think we'll see anymore of Purrloin with the episodes left. I do hope this is the last detective episode though. : /

From people reaction to this episode I see it was an other okay to da episode of the Pokemon anime Best Wishes. I'm happy that Ash finally gets to win something in this saga, even though it was Pikachu and they are sailing between Kanto and Unova. I want Iris to win another tournment before see left :O! At least Team Rocket wasn't in this episode XD

That's a safe bet. His reactions to Purrloin vary depending on the episode, from mere mistrust to outrageous fear like this episode. It'll likely never be explained as it's just a roundabout way to try to give Cilan another quirk.

Do you think we won't get complains that he lost? but no I was just saying that it was acceptable because his loss was fine even if he did need a win basicly but I don't have much of a problem with how the loss happened.

Apparently the cat belongs to the old lady along with the Watchog or atleast thats what it looked like to me, would have liked an explantion but I guess it will be just like Kasumi being afraid of bugs, hes afraid of Purrloin its just weird to me but people that are scared of cats do exist(problem is he just has a problem with this cat).

There seemed to be a reason why he doesn't trust/scared of them or w/e as indicated by that one Meowth episode. I think it's just his version of Brock's Professor Ivy, in that there is an explanation but we'll never get it. Misty was just the generic "Ima afraid of bugs" cliche.

It's not a version of anything. They are just leaving it as a noodle incident. It's for comedic purposes and is quite common in media. I DON'T gET WHY THIS MAKES HIM A BROCK ClONE, which is what a lot of you are saying and quite frankly, that's something that makes me mad. He's his own character. :/ I mean even if he doesn't have a reason canonically he's still scared of it. And I do think he got a BIT better from it. :P I mean in this episode we found how much Iris got over hers so yeah. He's not going to be totally over it and neither is she. I think, the only one who got over their fear was Dawn.

Which is his version of Brock's thing with Ivy, both were "noodle incidents." Scared or mistrustful? We've seen both, which is why it's become obvious it won't be explained. Iris's fear isn't the same as Cilan's mistrust of Purrloin, besides from the beginning we knew she could put that fear aside in battle.

I never said he was a Brock clone. Relax, I'm just saying this humoros unexplained fear is somewhat akin to Brock's humorous unexplained problems with Professor Ivy. : /
